Saturday we headed up to Portland, got checked into the hotel, and made our way to the MAX station to head to the Zoo! At the train station, we saw this:
Now, you may think to yourself, "How fabulous is that? A group of festive men and women handing out candy to kids, really getting into the holiday spirit!"
Uh huh.
They had spirit alright. Liquid spirit! And how do I know this scandalous bit of information? Because as we were driving to the Park and Ride, I got lost. I ended up a few blocks away, where we first encounter these jolly men (and women). And we think "Wow, I wish we had taken a picture of that giant group of Santa's!" Then we turn around, figure out how to get across the freeway, and we see the origin of this giant group.
THEY WERE ALL LEAVING A STRIP CLUB!
Inappropriate! Santa would NOT approve! Then we see them at the train station, and while they ARE in fact handing out candy to kids, I don't think I trust that candy. At all. There were more Santa's on the MAX, we saw 40 or 50 in all, headed down to a Holiday Brew Fest downtown. I'm cool with group fun, and rock on you choice making adults, but you have just tarnished Santa forever!!!!!!
In the morning we headed to McMinnville to go to the Evergreen Air and Space Museum where Sean took some amazing pictures (more later!) and then found this super cool brewery for lunch/dinner.
We love breweries. Sean always has a sampler, so he can try all the different varieties:
We also always take home a pint glass, we have a display of glasses from almost every brewery we've been to, all over the country. We have a glass from all the local places here, our favorite breweries from when we lived in NY, one from our honeymoon, Boston, etc.... it's our own little glassware travel log! You can see them in this picture of Loki, I'm too tired to go take one now :)
All in all, a pretty good weekend! A new favorite restaurant, planes, Christmas lights, and some crazy Santas!

Dirty old men Santas!! How dare they tarnish poor Santa's image. But still, too funny!! And I definitely wouldn't trust any candy from those guys.
What a fun little weekend away you had!
Hurrah for fun weekend getaways! I love how you captured the moment about the Santas....it was HILARIOUS!!! How very ODD to witness....it's just....WRONG!!! LOL. It reminds me of all the freaky, drunk Santas that have been portrayed in Christmas movies, like Miracle on 34th st etc. Santa is getting a bad name, man. He better shape up!
